Many preschools around the world encourage children to bring Mitzvah notes to class, detailing good deeds the child has done at home. They are read out loud by the teacher (“Morah,” “Giveret,” or “Rabbi”) to much fanfare, giving the child a feeling of pride for doing the good deed, and positively reinforcing the child to continue the good behavior.

However, not all parents properly understand the concept. Unfortunately, there are some children who may have a long road ahead of them as they grow out of their preschool years.
